Rip's Picks for Friday, Oct. 21

1 - HENNY BETTY was prepped at Penn by Servis (27% winners) for return to Monmouth and to stretch out. DOWNSTREAM BULL has price cut in half to go turf-to-dirt after discovering early foot with addition of Lasix. Distance becomes questionable for DELICATE GENIUS.

3 - FLY DIXIE has price double after failing as 4-5 chalk, but is wheeled right back a week after tiring late. MAMBO BAY may not be as fast early as top choice. POWERFUL INSTINCT/SIDE PARTY RALPH would not be a surprise as one makes debut and the other scratches.

4 - SECRET TRACKER has shown the ability to get two turns, hitting exacta tickets in 7-of-13 races. Lures Serpa off twitch-beaten favorite PERFECT WEDDING. THE WIFEDOESNTKNOW drops. Usually get part but seldom wins.

5 - BOMBAST won five in a row before getting caught in a speed duel. Likes Monmouth where he is 6-for-14. FRONTIER WARRIOR faces better after winning 4-of-6 this year out of town. TODD GOT EVEN rallied between rivals for third. Trying to regain last year's sharp form.

6 - I LOVE IT (BEST BET) plunges into claimer for first time and adds blinkers after sizzling workouts. MY PIANO MAY rallied from 10 back to win at Saratoga. FEREDAL EXCHANGE will try to steal this.

7 - ROMAN INVASION missed by head after showing distain for turf. Stays on main track. JERSEY KISS needs clear sailing from the back of the pack. CARRINGTON VILLAGE was cross entered today at Belmont by Pletcher. Watch where he goes.

8 - WHISKEYONTHEROCKS gets major rider change to Paco Lopez (22% winners) and along with turf-to-dirt runner READY TO PLAY are the only drop-downs in the race. TOOTS and SONZUL close late.
